The La Virada de Calena takes place in the mountain village of Rimplas in the Alpes-Maritimes, in the Vésubie valley of southeastern France. The adult course is a 6 km loop repeated five times, so runners pass the same village streets and landmarks on every lap. The event is held on a December Saturday, so runners should expect cold mountain air and conditions typical of the Alpine winter. The organiser is a local trail club, and the event is a compact, lapped format that suits runners who want a short, sociable outing in a small Alpine community.

The listing notes that information can change, so the organiser's website is the best source for the most recent details on registration, timings, and course arrangements.
The adult course is a lapped route of about 6 km, run as five laps around the village of Rimplas. Repeating the same circuit makes it easy to track your progress and to find support along the way.
The event takes place in December in the mountains of the Alpes-Maritimes, so temperatures can be low and conditions can change quickly. Plan for cold, windy weather, pack warm layers, and check the forecast in the days before the event.
Practise running on varied, uneven ground and gradual climbs in the weeks beforehand, and get used to running in cold weather. Build your endurance gradually and make sure your kit is tested before race day.
Spectator arrangements are not described on the listing. Because the course is a lapped village circuit, friends and family may be able to watch from several points, but check with the organiser for details.
